WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MARCH 22, 1884 Kleinigkeiten. A. Holdridge has removed to Ontario where he is building a house for himself. Surveyors are at work setting the stakes for the Pasadena Narrow Gauge railroad. Chas. A. Blackman will leave next week for Idaho Territory. He takes with him our best wishes for his prosperity. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. R. M. Barham has been appointed a Deputy County Assessor, his field of operations comprising Anaheim and extension. H. R. Hanna came in from Arizona on Wednesday evening, to pass a few weeks' vacation with his parents. The P. C. S. S. Co. have withdrawn the Queen of the Pacific and substituted the Oriental. Constable Bohn made several arrests for disorderly conduct during the week, but the offenders were discharged with a reprimand. The members of Confidence Fire Company are urgently requested to be present at the regular meeting on Tuesday night. Hanna & Keith report having made the following sale: Estate of Frank Marsh to H. C. Kellogg - 40 acres west of town, $1500. Some travelers from the East who arrived in Anaheim a few days ago were 22 days on the way, being detained by the washouts. At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co. on last Saturday, a committee from the Farmers Ditch Company of Orange-thorpe presented a proposition offering to transfer the property of the company consisting of 410 shares of paid-up stock for 307½ shares of stock of the A. U. W. Co., which is at the rate of one share for three-fourths of a share. Consideration of the proposition was postponed until the committee which had been appointed to inspect the ditches of the Orangethorpe company had made a report. The company's engineer was instructed to survey the reservoir site and test the capacity of the soil for holding water. The Directors agreed to inspect the ditches during the present week with a view to determining what improvements and repairs were necessary. A majority of the Directors, accompanied by the Superintendent, engineer, zanjero and chief carpenter inspected the ditches on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and determined upon a plan of operations. A man has been dispatched to an Indian rancheria in San Bernardino county to hire a hundred Indians to work on the ditch, Chinamen being scarce and expensive owing to the demand for them by the railroad company. The Superintendent has been authorized to hire as many teams as he may require at a cost not to exceed $3.50 per day. The Cajon ditch, so called, was found to be quite badly damaged in places, but the flames are all in very good condition. About half a mile of the new Anaheim ditch, at the head, is filled up, but otherwise it is but slightly injured. The upper, or Cajon ditch, will not only be repaired but straightened and otherwise improved; and it seemed to be the unanimous opinion of the Board that the upper ditch, from its mouth to the mouth of the new Anaheim ditch, should be widened a foot so as to bring all the water down to that point and drop it into the new ditch, making the latter ditch the main one, using the lower portion of the upper ditch for carrying water to the lands which can only be reached by it. There is nothing which would conduce The members of Confidence Fire Company are urgently requested to be present at the regular meeting on Tuesday night. Hanna & Keith report having made the following sale: E-state of Frank Marsh to H. C. Kellogg - 40 acres west of town, $1500. Some travelers from the East who arrived in Anaheim a few days ago were 22 days on the way, being detained by the washouts. The Town Marshal gives notice that he will hereafter enforce the ordinance which prohibits animals from grazing upon the public highway. A twig of very large and fine oranges has been placed on the editorial table by Prof. Packard. None of the five oranges measured less than fourteen inches in circumference. The mail will be carried by Mr. Gray as heretofore, until the track is repaired. It will be brought in the cars to Downey, and he will make regular daily trips from here to that point. T. A. Darling was taken seriously ill on Thursday evening, the result of a severe cold which settled on his lungs. His place at the railroad depot is temporarily filled by H. K. Hanna. Fruit is remarkably far advanced this season. A.E.S. Saxton's place in Orangethorpe there are saucer peaches which already measure 1 inch in diameter and 6 of an inch in thickness. The superb steamer Queen of the Pacific made the trip between San Pedro and San Francisco in 293 hours. Taking into consideration the stoppages, this is the fastest time on record between these ports. It's a bad flood that brings nobody good. An offender against the law, who had been sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail for sixty days, was set free because it was impossible to transport him to Los Angeles. Orangethorpe district has been well rid of rabbits, and the young vineyards in that neighborhood will have a fair show for existence. Over fifty rabbits were killed during the hunt on Wednesday, making 120 killed during the two days' shooting. The rainfall of last Friday and Saturday by Mr. Saxton's gauge amounted to fifteen-sixteenths inches, making the total for the season 21.7-16 inches. At the depot the total is 21.08 inches, and by Mr. Langenberger's gauge 20.95 inches. There is nothing which would conduce more to the prosperity of that town and to the convenience of the residents of this whole section of country than a good road leading northward and a bridge across the old river bed. At their best, the roads leading to Anaheim are exacerbate, and they have been a directand positive cause o much loss to the business interests of the place. Of the necessity of a bridge across the river there can now be no question; for during the last few weeks there has been only one safe crossing, and people who wanted to reach a point a mile away had to travel five miles to get to it. How can this road and this bridge be built? It will take a large sum of money, and yet it will be worth double what it will cost. We look to the Board of Supervisors to do this work. It is one of public necessity, and the people who ask it pay taxes enough to entitle their petition to due consideration. Laws can always be found, or made, to justify the expenditure of money on schemes of questionable character; it is only when a matter of real public benefit comes up that a law is found which prevents its accomplishment. The county has in former years built bridges in many parts of the county, and the Supervisor is can do the same thing again if they have the will and the backbone. Station Agent Darling gives us shearing information that the road between Anaheim and Los Angeles will not be repaired for several days—that, in fact, no train will run before next Wednesday or Thursday. The construction force put in some crush-work under the bridge over the Los Angeles river, but the weight of the first train that passed over it squashed the supports into the sand and the whole work was washed away again. The force which would otherwise have been at work during this week repairing the New River bridge and the break north of town has been engaged on the Los Angeles river bridge. It is likely, therefore, that another week will pass without railroad communication, even though favored by the present propitious weather. If the observations of a veteran beekeeper are correct the prospects of apiarists are not so pleasing as would be supposed after twenty inches of rain.

At the depot the total is 21.08 inches, and by Mr. Langenberger's gauge 20.95 inches. Though the price of nearly all commodities have gone up since the stoppage of railroad communication, the prices at the Anaheim Grist Mill of Saxton & Cox remain the same. Bear this fact in mind when you want to buy anything in their line. Singularly enough, there has never been a nursery of citrus fruits in Anaheim, and it has been necessary to purchase orange and similar trees elsewhere. This will be remedied in a short time by Marshall Haight, who has an extensive and promising nursery of choice citrus trees which will soon be old enough for market. A. L. Seeley, who is carrying the mail between Santa Ana and San Diego until the regular service is resumed, tells the Union that "at Santa Ana the river has made a new channel, leaving the railroad bridge high and dry. A new bridge will have to be built." This statement is absurd. The river still runs under the bridge, and the bridge still spans the river. We are able to announce authoritatively that the Planters' Hotel has been leased to Ed. Dunham, the lessee of the Pico and Cosmopolitan Hotels of Los Angeles, and that Mr. Compton will be the manager. Capt. Ferguson, the owner of the property, will immediately make liberal expenditures in the refurnishing of the house, and when the improvements contemplated are completed it will take rank with the best hotels in Southern California. If the observations of a veteran bee keeper are correct the prospects of apiarists are not so pleasing as would be supposed after twenty inches of rain. The veteran allowed to say that rust is appearing on the flowers, and that from that or some other causes they secrete but little honey. A visit to three or four flowers usually gives a bee all the honey it wants, but he observed that it took over twenty flowers to satisfy the bee's demand. It is to be hoped that this apparently close observer is at fault in his predictions of another disastrous year for this suffering industry. At the early hour of 3:30 on Thursday morning, the house on First North street, occupied by Mr. Hanna, was the scene of a rather daring burglary. The thief raised the window of the bedroom and, reaching in, secured Mr. Hanna's clothes, taking from the pockets $4.50 in silver and probably would have committed further depredations had not Mrs. Hanna discovered the intruder and raised an alarm. He dropped the clothes on the ground and vanished in the misty morning air; and though Deputy Sheriff Tyler scoured the town for the culprit, he escaped. The adhesive properties of Aunt Jemima's plaster, though handed down to fame in song, were but slight as compared with the quicksand of our California rivers. During last week a wagon got fast at the crossing of the river north of town, and an attempt was made oh Sunday to dig it out. About twenty men worked at the job for several hours; but, as was the case with the plaster hereinbefore referred to, the more they tried to pry it out, the more it stuck the faster. The running gear was rescued in a dilapidated condition, but the bed of the wagon remains in the bed of the river. Boston has organized a cremation society. Another contrivance for baked beings.

The following is the gist of the several amendments to the by-laws of the Anaheim Union Water Company, which have been filed with the Secretary. The meeting to vote upon these amendments will be held on April 12th: No stockholder shall be allowed to locate any stock outside of the irrigating district except the persons who were stockholders in the A. W. Co. and N. A. C. Co. at the date of the incorporation of the A. U. W. Co. Not more than 7,000 shares of stock to be issued unless deemed practicable by a majority of the subscribed stock. No certificate of stock to be issued until the purchase price is paid, with all assessments added thereto, and stock to be sold for not less than $20 per share. At the annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect a Secretary in addition to a Board of Directors, and the Secretary may or may not be a member of the Board. The salary of the Secretary shall not be more than $30 per month, and the salary of the Treasurer $5 per month. If the President or manager of any chartered bank in Anaheim will act as Treasurer without compensation, the funds of the Company shall be deposited in said bank and the President or manager elected Treasurer. The Secretary’s office shall be open at all business hours for the sale of water and the transaction of the business of the Company.

Vacancies in the Board of Directors, or in the office of Secretary to be filled by the stockholders in a general meeting called for that purpose. The price to be paid for water shall remain the same at all times and seasons of the year; a given quantity of water shall be sold for a certain sum of money at all times and dates. Quite fortunately for the grape growers of Los Angeles county, and indeed, Southern California, the phylloxera has not intruded his dreaded presence into their vineyards. Nor is it likely that this murderous pest will ever give them trouble, for it is a well-established fact that the phylloxera has never appeared where irrigation is the rule. In Napa, Sonoma and other northern counties where the pest has secured a lodgment, the matter is becoming more and more serious. When its presence was first ascertaind, the live people of those counties set to work resolutely to combat the enemy, and finding carbon-bisulphide and similar remedies inefficacious, they adopted the heroic treatment of digging up and burning the infested vines, replacing them with so-called phylloxera proof or resistant vines. This was the last and only hopeful remedy, but now comes F. W. Morse, an University expert, and reports that this treatment, too, is a failure. Referring to his report, a vineyardist writes to the St. Helena Star as follows: He shows that our resistant vines are a failure. If this prove to be a fact, we may as well stop grafting and planting what has been represented as resistant, or phylloxera proof vines, and yield to the inevitable. The State Convention of Irrigators which was to have convened at Riverside on the 12th instant, but which was slimly attended owing to the storm which made traveling impossible, was adjourned until May 14th, 15th and 16th. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That all irrigated sections of the State be urged to send representative men to such convention to participate in its deliberations. Resolved, That when no delegates are sent by meetings held by the people, those citizens interested are invited to attend and take part in the discussion. Resolved, That the following questions taken from the original call be submitted to the adjourned session: 1. What legislation is necessary bearing on the question of water rights and usage for irrigation purposes in this State? 2. Ownership of water, water companies and distribution of water for irrigation purposes. 3. Development of water. 4. Lifting of water from surface wells for irrigation purposes. 5. Necessity of water for irrigation, amount necessary to be used. The Fruit-Planting Season. B.F. Bulletin. Last year the demand for apricot trees exceeded the supply. That farore has nearly had its run. A good apricot orchard will probably always be a paying investment. But fresh apricots last year brought company actively low prices. The result has been that this year the demand for apricot trees has fallen off. They could be bought in small retail lots at 25 cents a tree, and at wholesale sale at 20 cents. It does not follow that production of apricots is ahead of the demand. It is only that the exaggerated counts of the great profits of this crop must be modified by facts. There will always be a demand for apricots. But a majority of orchardists will not go into the business of drying the fruit. They will gauge their profits by the price which the consumer will pay. Now, the apricot can only be grown in a profitable way on a comparatively small area. It comes to perfection in this warmer valleys of California, where peach comes nearest to perfection. There is, however, enough land in California suitable to produce of the apricot to supply whole country with that fruit, and to meet a great part of the foreign demand. Dried apricots bring a fair price. But this majority of orchardists won't bother with dried fruit. More is the pity. A single house in this city we are told sells $3,000 of dried fruit annually. The French and Hungarian prune has been largely planted in this State. A full bearing prune orchard this year would yield a larger revenue that any other fruit orchard. Prunes must be dried. The orchardist does not like to embark in this branch of business. The prune requires skill in the master of preparation to place it with success on the market. A like observation applies to the plum. Dried apricots, prunes, plums and peaches will always bring a good price. We have noted that dried blackberries were selling in this market at 15 cents a pound. Yet there were many acres of blackberry where the later crop was not gathered, because the grower would not dry the fruit. The demand for fruit trees varies with each year. Last year the extreme demand was for apricot trees, and the next highest demand was for two or three classes of peaches. This year the extreme demand has been for cherry trees. The prices have ranged from fifty cents up to $2.50. In fact this supply was exhausted some time ago. If one were to look now for half a dozen cherries trees in the stock of any nurseryman he would have hard work to find them. The popular demand has veered round from apricots and peaches to cherries. This fruit has always brought a big price in this market. It is one of the least valuable fruits for family consumption which comes to the market. But so long as there is a popular demand for it there will be an increase in product. Repealing the clause limiting Directors who are absent from regular meetings. Requiring the Directors, after January 1st, 1855, to charge such sums of money for the water as may cover all ordinary expenses of "running the same by the Company." Vacancies in the Board of Directors, or in the office of Secretary, to be filled by the stockholders in a general meeting called for that purpose. The price to be paid for water shall remain the same at all times and seasons of the year; a given quantity of water shall be sold for a certain sum of money at all times and dates. Fixing a penalty of not more than nity dollars for any violation of the by-laws by any stockholder, officer or employee. Water may be sold to and used by stockholders on any lands belonging to such stockholders, or under his control within the irrigating district, not covered by stock, upon the understanding that said stockholder upon the receipt of his certificate of stock, thereby waives any and all rights which might or could accrue to him in the use of such water by virtue of the provisions of Section 562 of the Civil Code of California. Repealing the clauses which require the location of stock, the waiving of any rights conferred by the laws of the State, and the ratification, by acceptance of the Company's certificate, of the transfer of property made by the A. W. Co. and N. A. C. Co. There shall be issued 1,000 shares of stock which shall be designated as second-class stock, and which shall be entitled to water at stockholders' rates in the winter season, or at such times as there is a surplus over and above the pro rata due stockholders holding first-class certificates of stock. Said second-class stock to be located, and no water shall be used outside of such location or outside of land covered by stock of the company; and the said stock shall be sold at $10 per share with future assessments added. Certificates issued under this authority shall express on the face thereof that the same will not be a lien on the said water other than hereinbefore expressed. Each half share of stock to represent an acre or fraction of an acre. Any stockholder desiring to change the location of his stock to other than the original acres covered thereby, will be entitled to do so at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors by a majority vote, if it shall appear to the Board that there is no intention by the applicant to evade the working of Section I of Article VI of these by-laws. Provided, That all applications of this character shall be made at a previous meeting of the Board, and that the party making such change shall surrender his certificate of stock to the company and receive a new certificate covering the new location.

If one were to look now for half a dozen cherries trees in the stock of any nurseryman, he would have hard work to find them.

It is one of the least valuable fruits for family consumption which comes to the market. But so long as there is a popular demand for it, there will be an increase of product. The cherry crop is sold fresh. The fruit is not dried to any great extent. A small part of it is canned. But in this shape it is rather an indifferent fruit. The nurserymen have for the last three years done a good business. Considering the capital invested in the profits have been larger than in almost any other pursuit which have a relation to agriculture. The apple crop of last year brought larger prices than in any other year dating back at least twenty years. As this fruit can only be made available to supply a local demand that is, such a demand as will exist in the Pacific States, the market can be overstocked. It was overstocked years ago. Dress apples bring a good price. Cider and cider vinegar bring good prices; and it is noticed that those who have improved their apple orchards have found their account in that kind of enterprise. At present a box of apples in the retail market costs as much or more than a box of oranges. The old question is constantly renewed—Will fruit growing be overdone in California? It will be overdone in some instances but in a majority of instances it will not be overdone. Some years ago the production of scrub cattle and horses was overdone in California. But the production of good cattle and horses is today far below the demand. Good beef commands a high price and good hogs do not wait for purchasers. Keeping in view this discrimination, the production of fruit in California will not be overdone. As to its vineyard interest, that is still in its infancy. The scrub fruit or chard may not pay any better than the production of scrub horses. For the best fruit, of whatever sort it may be, there is no falling off in the demand. Look at the prices which cherries, apricots, plums and apples, and the best varieties of grapes commanded at the close of the producing season last year. It does not look as if fruit growing is to be overdone in our time. There are some curious fluctuations in the demand for trees and vines. But these are temporary and are designed to hit a popular caprice. The supply of cherry currants last year was larger than the demand for the fresh fruit. The canners made their own prices. This year many acres of cherry currant bushes were plucked up, while the demand for cherry trees never was pushed to such an extreme. It is to be noted also, that a considerable variety of grape vines have been wholly omitted in the planting of new vineyards, not so much on account of any popular caprice, as because experience has shown that some varieties are far preferable to others. There have been hardly less than one hundred varieties of grapes cultivated at one time or another in California. Of these hardly more than ten varieties are now finding favor with experienced viticulturists. Blue Grass Breeders. Mr. R. S.

The road bed has been temporarily elevated on ties and trains are now going through, but great care is taken in passing over the weak places. A large number of men are putting the road in condition, and trains will in a few days be able to make schedule time." The Herald of Thursday had the following: "About 5 o'clock last night a mixed accommodation train arrived from San Francisco, being the first train through the Solead Canyon for four weeks. The train for San Francisco did not go out, but will start to-day so as to carry the delayed passengers over the Sunset route who failed to arrive yesterday but came in early this morning. A train from San Francisco is expected to arrive to-day, but owing to the soft condition of the track, will probably be behind time. The Colton train made its round trip yesterday in good time." "Anaheim is one of the old settled places, and it is prosperous. Wine has been its principal production, and for this the land appears well adapted. It was not until this trip that I became aware they had so much good land, not only adapted to the wine grape, but to walnuts, oranges and many kinds of the deciduous fruits. They possess great advantages in the way of water, both in quantity and distribution of the same, since the consolidation of the two water companies."—J. M. Hixon in Rural Press.
